This is BY FAR the most wonderful, most professional, most gorgeous thing I have ever made. It took a little over five hours (minus cutting the fabric) and I am so excited to show it off. I can't wait to hear what everyone thinks.

The bag:

Front pocket (which I am especially proud of):

Inside the bag:

Full (it holds a lot of stuff):

My little cell-phone pocket:

And the ACTION SHOT!!

I absolutely LOVE this bag and I hope you all do too. Thanks so much for looking.

My cousin asked me a LONG time ago to make her a bag, but I haven't gotten around to getting the colors she wanted. So I figured, I'll make her something really cute then when I get her fabrics, I'll make her exactly what she wants.

I had today off from work and I am a little stressed about a few things, and there is nothing more therapeutic than sewing on a whim. Now I just have to figure out who to give these to, I am running out of places to put all these bags!

My little El Burro handbag:

Fabric:

Inside:

Pockets *I got the idea for these pockets because when I make myself a little bag, my pockets are never tall enough, so I figured, why not make them the same height as the bag?*:

Inside the zipper pocket. I was so excited how the pocket turned out. I have never been able to make a bag with more than one compartment other than little pockets before. Its so neat and I am really proud.

I'd love to hear what you think about it!

Oh and one last little bit. I did no measuring whatsoever. I went by the length of the zipper! Haha.
